We do not generally prohibit use of SplineCloud for advertising. However, we expect our users to follow certain limitations, so SplineCloud does not become a spam haven. No one wants that.
While we understand that you may want to promote your Content by posting supporters' names or logos in your Account, the primary focus of the Content posted in or through your Account to the Service should not be advertising or promotional marketing. This includes Content posted in or through Pages, Packages, repositories, and all other parts of the Service. You may include static images, links, and promotional text in the Wikis or project description sections associated with your Account, but they must be related to the project you are hosting on SplineCloud. You may not advertise in other Users' Accounts, such as by posting monetized or excessive bulk content in issues.

SplineCloud reserves the right to remove any Content in violation of this policy.
You must not engage in activity that significantly harms other users. We will resolve disputes in favor of protecting users as a whole.
